What's wrong with getting out of the car?
This isn't unusual.
It happens EVERY DAY.
NOT getting out of the car is unusual. Raises a Red Flag.
I can only guess that you've NEVER been involved in a bad traffic stop. I'm not making this a racial thing either. I'm a white man, but i've had cops felony stop me because they mistook me for someone else.........It's an extremely unnerving event and I was afraid to get out of my vehicle........
there are two things that most people get wrong when dealing with law enforcement.
1. they look at everything through their eyes only and assume that if everyone just reacts the way they do, it's all hunky dory.
2. they give a massive amount of leeway to law enforcement because they've been led to believe that there's a war on cops......which is bullshit
every interaction is, or can be, different. not every cop behaves professionally or calmly.....
It should not be the job of police officers to terrify citizens in to immediate submission to their will, nor should it be YOUR job to tell citizens 'just do what the officer says'.
